The terms “feature phone” or “dumb phone” may not mean anything to you, but anyone born before the 2000s will surely remember our first cell phones.
These small touch-tone phones, the ancestors of the smartphone, which revolutionized our daily lives.
Although they may seem rudimentary, these small phones are currently making a comeback. Here are 5 good reasons to get started or get back into them:
- The price! This little phone costs less than €20. No, not everyone wants to pay more than €1,000 to make calls and send messages...
- Battery life: Our MOBY won't let you down! On standby, it can last up to 549 hours. Some people only use feature phones as a backup, to ensure they're always reachable.
- Do a real "digital detox." In an age where our smartphones are omnipresent, where notifications remind us of this invisible connection every minute, the feature phone brings you back to what's essential. Calls and messages, a small camera, a flashlight, radio, Bluetooth, and a basic internet connection: the bare minimum to stay focused on what's truly important.
- Give the planet a gift. No more constantly running apps, no more search engines... In two words, "digital pollution."
- Embrace the vintage trend. Who isn't nostalgic for the sound of typing a text message in T9? Early phone games like "Snake"? These phones take us back to the 2000s.
So, are you convinced? Who wants to try the experience of switching to a feature phone?
